Abstract

Abstract:

Under atmospheric pressure, the graphite/Ti_nO₂_n-₁ composites were prepared by an carbothermal reduction process of anatase titanium dioxide powders using graphite reductant. The variation of valence state of titanium was investigated by X-ray diffractometer (XRD) in the carbothermal reduction process, and morphology, structure and element composition of the specific reduced sample was analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The XRD results indicated that the graphite/Ti_nO₂_n-₁ composites with different n value could be obtained with controlling different reduction conditions, and the order of phase transition was TiO₂(anatase), TiO₂(rutile), Ti₉O₁₇, Ti₈O₁₅, Ti₆O₁₁, Ti₅O₉ and Ti₄O₇. The minimum resistivity of the reduced samples was 0.1465Ω·cm, which was prepared at 1250℃ for 20min with the graphite/TiO₂ mass ratio of 5∶10. The adsorption capacity of graphite/Ti_nO₂_n-₁ composites in methylene blue (MB) bleaching was enhanced in comparison with graphite powers, and the removal efficiency was 1.40～3.20 times of graphite. Under visible light irradiation, the graphite/Ti_nO₂_n-₁ composites were confirmed to have photocatalytic activity for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) though a little lower than that of anatase TiO₂. The maximum apparent rate constant k of the graphite/Ti_nO₂_n-₁ composites was 0.0047min^-1.

Key words: Ti_nO₂_n-₁, composites, reduction, preparation, adsorption, degradation

摘要：

在常压下，以钛白粉为原料，石墨为还原剂，采用碳热还原法制备了石墨/Ti_nO₂_n-₁复合材料。采用XRD系统分析了碳热还原过程中钛的价态变化规律；采用XPS、SEM、TEM分析了特定样品的形貌、结构和元素组成。XRD分析结果表明，控制不同的还原条件，可以得到不同n值的石墨/Ti_nO₂_n-₁复合材料，且还原过程的物相转变顺序为：TiO₂（锐钛型）、TiO₂（金红石型）、Ti₉O₁₇、Ti₈O₁₅、Ti₆O₁₁、Ti₅O₉和Ti₄O₇。在还原温度为1250℃，还原时间为20min，碳钛比为5∶10的条件下所制备的石墨/Ti_nO₂_n-₁复合材料的电阻率最低，其值为0.1465Ω·cm。吸附/光降解实验表明，石墨/Ti_nO₂_n-₁复合材料对亚甲基蓝的吸附能力比纯石墨显著增强，吸附去除率为纯石墨的1.40~3.20倍；石墨/Ti_nO₂_n-₁复合材料对亚甲基蓝具有光催化降解活性，但是其光降解能力低于锐钛型TiO₂；复合材料的催化降解速率常数最大值为0.0047min^-1。
